Radiation streaming through penetrations has been of great concern in radiation shielding design and analysis. This study developed a Monte Carlo method and constructed a data library of results calculated by the Monte Carlo method for radiation streaming through a straight cylindrical duct in concrete walls of a broad, mono-directional, mono-energetic gamma-ray beam of unit intensity. It was demonstrated that average dose rate due to an isotropic point source at arbitrary positions can be well approximated using the library with acceptable error. Thus, the library can be used for efficient analysis of radiation streaming due to arbitrary distributions of gamma-ray sources.

Fatigue behavior of before-and-after penetration was examined experimentally using surface pre-cracked specimens of aluminium alloy 5083-0. The fatigue crack shape before penetration is almost semicircular, and the measured aspect ratio is larger than the value obtained by calculation using K values proposed by Newman-Raju. It is found that the crack growth behavior on the back side after penetration is unique and can be divided into three stages. By using a crack propagation rule in case of long surface crack, the change in crack shape after penetration can be evaluated quantitatively.

수중수로관통 발파는 수로터널을 호수 바닥에 근접하도록 터널을 뚫고 최종적으로 플러그를 발파하여 수로와 호수 바닥을 연결시키는 발파 기술로서 수력발전에서 경비와 공기를 단축시킬 수 있는 매우 유용한 기술이다. 이 기술은 본질적으로는 수중발파와 동일하지만 완벽한 성공을 보장하기 위한 별도의 조치를 해야하고 수갱의 수문과 여타의 설비를 보전할 수 있는 대책을 강구하여야 한다. 논문에서는 노르웨이에서는 보편화되어 있는 이 기술의 핵심 내용과 적용의 예를 실어 소개하고자 한다.

Penetrating vascular trauma to zone one of the neck is potentially life-threatening. Trauma in this anatomical location is difficult to access and manage because the neck is a small anatomic area with the anatomical proximity of vital structures. An accurate diagnosis and aggressive surgical intervention are critical to the successful outcome of penetrating zone one vascular trauma in the neck. Here we report two cases with review of the medical literature.

본 연구에서는 차량 연료탱크에 충격탄 관통 시 화재발생 여부를 분석하기 위한 연구의 전단계로서, 충격탄 속도 변화에 따른 연료탱크 내부의 열전달특성을 분석하기 위해 전산유체역학기법을 도입하여 수치해석을 수행한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 잔류속도 120m/s의 경우, 관통부를 지난 위치에서 최대온도는 약 324.8K를 나타내고 잔류속도 360m/s의 경우, 충격탄이 관통부로 유입되면서 급격하게 증가되어 최고온도 약 382.1K를 나타낸다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 최고 온도가 가솔린 연료의 착화온도보다 높아 화재의 위험성이 있지만 순간적인 온도변화가 심하고 착화시간이 만족되지 않을 것으로 판단된다.

Despite all the recent advances in biodegradable material-based microneedles, the bending and failure (especially buckling) of a biodegradable microneedle during skin tissue insertion remains a major technical hurdle for its large-scale commercialization. A reduction in skin tissue puncture force during microneedle insertion remains an essential issue in successfully developing a biodegradable microneedle. Here, we consider uniaxial and equibiaxial prestrains applied to a skin tissue as mechanophysical stimuli that can reduce the skin tissue puncture force, and investigate the effect of prestrain on the changes in skin tissue puncture force. For a porcine skin tissue similar to that of humans, the skin tissue puncture force of a flat-end microneedle is measured with a z-axis stage equipped with a load cell, which provides a force-time curve during microneedle insertion. The findings of this study lead to a quantitative characterization of the relationship between prestrain and the skin tissue puncture force.

The leak before break (LBB) concept is used in pipe line design for nuclear power plants. For application of the LBB concept, leak rates through cracks should be evaluated accurately. Usually leak late analyses are performed for through-thickness cracks with constant cross-sectional area. However, the cross-sectional area at the inner pipe surface of a crack can be different from that at the outer surface. In this paper, leak rate analyses are performed for the cracks with linearly-varying cross-sectional areas. The effect of varying the cross-sectional area on leak rates was examined. Leak rates were also evaluated for cracks in bi-material pipes. Finally, the effects of crack surface morphology parameters on leak rates were examined.

The A60 class deck penetration piece is a fire-resistant system installed on a horizontal compartment to prevent flame spreading and protect lives in fire accidents in ships and offshore plants. This study deals with approximate optimization using discrete variables for the fire resistance design of an A60 class deck penetration piece using different surrogate models and a genetic algorithm. Transient heat transfer analysis was performed to evaluate the fire resistance design of the A60 class deck penetration piece. For the approximate optimization of the piece, the length, diameter, material type, and insulation density were applied to discrete design variables, and temperature, productivity, and cost constraints were considered. The approximate optimum design problem based on the surrogate models was formulated such that the discrete design variables were determined by minimizing the weight of the piece subjected to the constraints. The surrogate models used in the approximate optimization were the response surface model, Kriging model, and radial basis function-based neural network. The approximate optimization results were compared with the actual analysis results in terms of approximate accuracy. The radial basis function-based neural network showed the most accurate optimum design results for the fire resistance design of the A60 class deck penetration piece.
